Hats!

I know it's still fairly warm and sunny but I have been knitting hats and scarves getting ready for winter. Recently I made a bobble scarf and loved the wool I used.  There was not enough for a hat as well but I found some chocolate alpaca the same weight and added in ribs of that to the hat.  Here's a photo of the hat to go with the bobble scarf.  Yay! It turned out so well and looks cute on!  I also found I love knitting with the alpaca, such a lovely soft wool.  .  
 Here's the set.  cute huh? 

This is Craig's new wool hat which he has now pronounced is too "scratchy" when he gets hot.  This may end up getting felted to be softer.


While I am here I may as well throw in the headband I made.  I really did not love this pattern but the wool is so pretty.


I am not sure about other people but I tend to have about three projects on the go at once these days.  Something kinda complicated or needs me to pay attention when I am knitting it, something I can just knit away at while watching TV and then something small and portable.  Gee, sounds balanced to me!!

Enjoy your day and happy knitting!
